Early life

Bruce Wayne was born in Gotham City to Thomas Wayne and his wife Martha Arkham. Bruce had a very normal life until his parents were murdered by a mugger and he was left in the care of his guardian and ex-royal marine Alfred Pennyworth who trained him to avenge his parents. During his teenage years he befriended Jessica Dent and her twin brother Harvey Dent. At some unknown point when Bruce was a teenager he attempted to enter his parents tomb, but ended up being chased away by bats. He ran in till he ended up in a storage area that contained multiple items owned by Alfred, which held an ancient armor covered in bat insignias.

Becoming Batman

After years of being trained by Alfred in martial arts, science, and criminology, Bruce decided it was time to avange his parents' murder's. His first night out, he simply wore a black jumpsuit with gear and weilded two knives for climbing and fighting. To hide his identity, he wore only a ski mask. That night, he foned in on a man who had just purchased drugs, and beat his down into the concrete, leaving him bleeding. He left, not knowing weather or not if the man was alive, nor if the mans crime fit his punnishment. From that moment on, he swore he'd never take a life, and vowed to not use guns, to honnor his parents' memory. Upon ariving back at Wayne manor, he decided his costume must be able to strike terror into the hearts of criminals. Remembering the mausoleum incident yeaars back, he decided to take up the image of a bat, the same creature that had frightened him as a child. He had Lucius Fox, a small time employee at Wayne Industries,help him fix his grapnol, aswell as make him baterangs. He took to the streets once more as The Batman.

Dark Year One Arc

Durring his first year as Batman, his main goal was to get revenge on his parents' killer. He began to investigate Roman Sionis' gang, aswell as the Mayor, Oswald Cobblepot. He found nothing that tied either of them to the murder. However, he did find leads to who the murderer really was. He followed these leads and found a man named Joe Chill, who was currently living out of Gotham's limits, after what he'd done, and had become an alchaholic. Upon learning that his parents died due to sheer bad luck, Bruce decided to use the Batman to war on all crime. He returned to Gotham, and vowed to take down Sionis' gang. At first, he and the police were at odds untill Killer Croc, a serial killer on Sionis' & Cobblepot's payroll, kidnapped Lt.Gordon's daughter Barbra. Batman helped rescue her, leading Lt.Gordon to begin to trust Batman. Mayor Cobblepot was getting worried about how close Batman was coming to the truth, and had FBI Special Crimes Agent Edward Nygma called into Gotham to catch the Batman. Nygma enlisted the help of Sionis to break out some of the most dangerous inamtes at Blackgate prison to start a crime wave in an attempt to draw out Batman. It partially worked, but in the end, Batman just ended up crippling Nygma and stopping all the criminals. He managed to catch Sionis aswell as get dirt on Cobblepot to the police, leading to his impeachment and arrest. The mayor position was taken by Assistant DA Harvey Dent's twin sister, Jessica Dent.
